  1. Portable Controlled Noise Environment Jenny Liu, Amanda Spencer, Jennifer Wang Team 34 Client: Dennis Barbour, M.D., Ph.D Progress Presentation

  2. Need & Project Scope • Hearing loss affects 30 million Americans • Treat with hearing aids or cochlear implants • Design a portable controlled noise environment for an auditory training smartphone game to improve usability

  3. Specific Design Requirements

  4. Specific Design Requirements

  5. Direct Plug-In Telecoil stimulation Headphone Add-on Introduce noise Portability 3D Speaker Array Noise Cancellation Sound booth LACETM Train at home SNR Control Design Categories

  6. Design Choice – Headphone

  7. Design Modules • Modules • Headphone • External Microphone (9) • Internal Microphone (2) • Apparatus Attachment (8 ) • Apparatus body (5) • Smartphone interface • Control algorithm (3) • Design permutations = 2160

  8. External Microphones Category • Dynamic • Pros: rugged, long-lasting, less expensive • Cons: frequency distortion • Condenser • Pros: flatter frequency profile, better transient response • Cons: power source, expensive Directionality • Cardioid • Omni-directional Placement • Boundary • Stalk

  9. External Microphones Category • Dynamic • Condenser Directionality • Cardioid • Pros: resistant to feedback • Cons: proximity effect • Omni-directional • Pros: flatter frequency profile • Cons: feedback Placement • Boundary • Stalk • Flat

  10. Internal Microphone • Electret • Pros: inexpensive, frequency profile flat • Cons: larger, more inexpensive • MEMS • Pros: very small, EM shielded • Cons: frequency profile mostly flat

  11. Internal Microphone • Placement • Behind the ear • Behind the earlobe • In external ear canal

  12. Internal Microphone • Placement • Behind the ear • Behind the earlobe • In external ear canal

  13. Internal Microphone • Placement • Behind the ear • In external ear canal • Behind the earlobe

  14. Apparatus Attachment • Clamp • Suction cup • Happeez adhesive • Dual Lock • Screw • Clasp • Snap-button • Glue

  15. Apparatus Attachment • Clamp • Suction cup • Happeez adhesive • Dual Lock • Screw • Clasp • Snap-button • Glue

  16. Apparatus Attachment • Clamp • Suction cup • Happeez adhesive • Dual Lock • Screw • Clasp • Snap-button • Glue

  17. Internal Microphone Attachment • Bistable spring band • Pros: off-the-shelf, storage shape • Cons: difficult, hard to attach hard to control bending • Telescoping Metal Frame • Flexon • Bent rod • Glue • Magnet

  18. Internal Microphone Attachment • Bistable spring band • Telescoping Metal Frame • Flexon • Pros: flexible, customizable, light, strong bio-compatible • Cons: proprietary, unavailable • Bent rod • Glue • Magnet

  19. Software • Static Recording • Pros: Absolute SNR control • Cons: Does not account for NP

  20. Software • Static Recording • Iterative • Adjust NT and S • NP calculation • Pros: Calculation has fewer steps (faster) • Cons: Drift in NP may compromise SNR control • SNR for negative feedback • Pros: Precise SNR control • Cons: More calculations increase delay
